The Fastest Way To Get Unstuck

Here’s a hard truth:

Every agency owner eventually hits a ceiling.

That point where you’ve tried everything you know and you’re still not moving forward.

When I hit mine, I assumed I needed to learn more.

So I dove into new courses, new frameworks, even new tools.

But soon enough, I realized what I actually needed wasn’t more information.

It was belief.

See, when you’ve been grinding for a while and progress slows, your confidence starts to fade.

You question your plan…

Your leadership…

Even your capability as an agency owner.

And when belief dips, execution follows.

Now, the thing that got me out of that cycle wasn’t a new tactic.

It was being surrounded by people who believed bigger.

Why?

Sometimes the fastest way to grow is to borrow belief from others until your own catches up.

When you surround yourself with people who’ve already built what you’re building…

Their certainty transfers to you.

You stop asking, “Can this work?”.

Instead, you now start asking, “How fast can I make it work?”

There’s a mindset shift.

And that shift is everything.

I remember being in a mastermind, and someone described the exact challenge I was facing…

But at 10x the scale.

They were neither smarter nor luckier.

Rather, they’d just done it before.

And hearing how they solved it made me believe I could solve it, too.

Here’s what I’ve learned since then:

• You don’t grow by staying where your doubts feel comfortable
• You grow by getting around people whose confidence raises yours
• You grow by proximity, not pressure

So if you’ve been stuck, stop trying to grind your way through it alone.

Find a group, a coach, or a community that’s already operating at your next level.

Because the fact is that belief is contagious—and that’s a good thing when you’re in the right environment.

The people you surround yourself with don’t just influence what you do.

They influence what you believe is possible.

And once your belief expands, your results will, too.
